A seemingly trivial argument over the spiciness of green chili enchiladas escalated into a fight and, minutes later, a fatal shooting, police said. Albuquerque police in New Mexico reported that they arrested and charged 22-year-old Ervin Gutierrez with the shooting death of 25-year-old Nathaniel Cavazos, which occurred on the night of Friday, August 28, at an apartment complex in the northeast part of the city. According to police and court documents, Gutierrez had traveled from Roswell to prepare dinner with his cousins Cavazos and Kamyl Serrano. The men were consuming alcohol while cooking when the argument began. Investigators stated that Gutierrez started provoking Cavazos by saying the chili in his enchiladas was too spicy. What began as a discussion about food quickly escalated into a physical confrontation.
